Auto Smartports Configuration Guidelines

You cannot delete or change the built-in macros. However, you can override a built-in macro by creating a user-defined macro with the same name. To restore the original built-in macro, delete the user-defined macro.

If you enable both the macro auto device and the macro auto execute global configuration commands, the parameters specified in the command last executed are applied to the switch. Only one command is active on the switch.

To avoid system conflicts when macros are applied, remove all port configurations except for 802.1x authentication. Be sure to enter the commands that remove port security and Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) guard features before you enable Auto Smartports macros on a port.

Do not configure port security when you enable device-specific Auto Smartports on the switch. The switch applies the appropriate port-based commands.

If the macro conflicts with the original configuration, either the macro does not apply some of the original configuration commands, or the antimacro does not remove them. (The antimacro is the portion of the applied macro that removes the macro at a link-down event.)

For example, if 802.1x authentication is enabled, you cannot remove the switchport-mode access configuration. Remove the 802.1x authentication before removing the switchport mode configuration.

A port cannot be a member of an EtherChannel when you apply Auto Smartports macros. If you use EtherChannels, disable Auto Smartports on the EtherChannel interface by using the no macro auto processing interface configuration command.

The built-in-macro default data VLAN is VLAN 1. The built-in macro default voice VLAN is VLAN 2. If your switch uses different access, native, or voice VLANs, use the macro auto device or the macro auto execute global configuration commands to configure the values.

If you use the VLAN name in a macro, it must be the same name that is in the VLAN database for all switches in the VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) domain.

Use the show macro auto device privileged EXEC command to display the default macros with the default parameter values, current values, and the configurable parameter list for each macro. You can also use the show shell functions privileged EXEC command to see the built-in-macro default values.

To use 802.1x authentication or MAC authentication bypass (MAB) to detect non-Cisco devices, configure the RADIUS server to support the Cisco attribute-value pair auto-smart-port=event trigger.

For stationary devices that do not support CDP, MAB, or 802.1x authentication, such as network printers, configure a MAC address group with a MAC OUI-based trigger and map it to a user-defined macro with the desired configuration.

An 802.1x-authentication-based trigger takes precedence over all other event triggers, such as Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) messages, Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) messages, or user-defined MAC address groups.

The switch supports Auto Smartports macros only on directly connected devices. If multiple devices are connected, (for example, through a hub) the applied macro is associated with the first detected device.

If authentication is enabled on a port, the switch ignores a MAC address trigger if authentication fails.

When using MAC-address-based detection, ensure that Auto Smartports is enabled only on ports facing access devices and not on ports that face the network or an intermediate gateway switch.

The order of CLI commands within the macro and the corresponding antimacro can be different.

When the device identity is configured and the device is authenticated on a switch port, these RADIUS attributes could be downloaded:

VLAN ID and switch ACL name or number from the Cisco access control server (ACS)

ASP trigger name in an attribute-value (AV) pair.

After the AV pair is downloaded, the switch applies the macro on the port.

The downloaded VLAN ID or ACL name could conflict with the settings in the user-defined or builtin macro applied by the switch.

Auto Smartports does not support lightweight access points in the Remote Edge Access Point (REAP) or Hybrid Remote Edge Access Point (HREAP) mode.

Enabling Auto Smartports Macros

Follow this required procedure to enable macros globally on the switch.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

configure terminal

Example:

Switch# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2 

macro auto global processing

Example:

Switch(config)# macro auto global processing

Globally enables macros on the switch.

Step 3 

end

Example:

Switch(config)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 4 

show running-config

Example:

Switch# show running-config

Verifies that Auto Smartports is enabled.

Step 5 

copy running-config startup-config

Example:

Switch# copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.

To return to the default setting, use the no macro auto global processing global configuration command.

To disable macros on a specific port, use the no macro auto processing interface configuration command.

You can use the show macro auto device, the show shell functions, and the show shell triggers privileged EXEC commands to display the event triggers and the built-in macros.

This example shows how to enable macros on the switch and then how to disable macros on a specific interface:

Switch(config)# macro auto global processing 
Switch(config)# interface interface_id
Switch(config-if)# no macro auto processing

Default Auto Smartports Configuration

Auto Smartports is globally disabled and is enabled per interface.

Macro persistence is globally disabled and is enabled per interface.

Cisco IOS shell is enabled.

The switch uses these built-in macros (the defaults) when Auto Smartports is enabled for the specific devices.

Table 3-1 Device-Specific Built-In Macros 

Macro Name
Description

CISCO_AP_AUTO_

1 The antimacro is the portion of the applied macro that removes the macro at a link-down event.


The switch applies the CISCO_PHONE_AUTO_SMARTPORT macro to Cisco IP phones.

The access point macros have these enhancements:

The switch determines the access point type (autonomous or lightweight) and then applies the appropriate macro.

To reduce overrun errors at the ingress interface on an access point Ethernet receiver, the switch adds the QoS bandwidth setting to the access point macros when it receives a CDP message with the auto-QoS type, length, and value attributes (TLVs). QoS derives the bandwidth value from the auto-QoS TLVs.

If the CDP messages does not have the auto-QoS TLVs, the switch does not add the bandwidth setting to the macros.


Note If you do not upgrade the access point image to one that has the auto-QoS TLVs, the switch does not add the bandwidth setting to the access point macros. When you configure the bandwidth before the link to the receiver goes down, the setting is removed when the link comes up.

If you add a macro command that sets the QoS bandwidth and the switch applies the macro to an access point that does not support the auto-QoS TLVs, the command is not applied to the access point, We recommend that you create a user-defined macro without that command.


When a Catalyst 3750-E and 3560-E switch is connected to a Cisco Aironet 1250 access point, the switch applies a power setting to allocate up to 20 W.

When a switch running Cisco IOS Release15.0(2)EX applies the CISCO_DMP_AUTO_
SMARTPORT macro to a CDP-capable digital media player, it generates an auto-QoS configuration for the digital media player.

The access point macros support the Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) protocol.

Configuring Auto Smartports Parameter Values

The switch automatically maps from event triggers to built-in device-specific macros. You can follow this optional procedure to replace macro default parameter values with values that are specific to your switch.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

show macro auto device

Example:

Switch# show macro auto device

Displays the macro default parameter values.

Step 2 

configure terminal

Example:

Switch# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3 

macro auto device {access-point | ip-camera | lightweight-ap | media-player | phone | router | switch} [parameter=value]

Example:

Switch(config)# macro auto device router

Replaces the specified macro default parameter values.

Enter new values in the form of a name-value pair separated by spaces: [<name1>=<value1> <name2>=<value2>...].

You can enter the VLAN ID or the VLAN name when specifying VLAN parameter values.

Default values are shown for each macro default parameter value.

access-point NATIVE_VLAN=1

ip-camera ACCESS_VLAN=1

lightweight-ap ACCESS_VLAN=1

media-player ACCESS_VLAN=1

phone ACCESS_VLAN=1 VOICE_VLAN=2

router NATIVE_VLAN=1

switch NATIVE_VLAN=1

Note You must enter the correct parameter name (for example, VOICE_VLAN) because this text string must match the text string in the built-in macro definition.

Step 4 

end

Example:

Switch(config)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 5 

show macro auto device

Example:

Switch# show macro auto device

Verifies your entries.

Step 6 

copy running-config startup-config

Example:

Switch# copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.

This example shows how to see the IP phone macro parameter values and how to change the default voice VLAN to 20. When you change the default values, they are not immediately applied on the interfaces with existing applied macros. The configured values are applied at the next link-up event. Note that the exact text string was used for VOICE_VLAN. The entry is case sensitive.

Switch# show macro auto device phone
Device:phone
Default Macro:CISCO_PHONE_AUTO_SMARTPORT
Current Macro:CISCO_PHONE_AUTO_SMARTPORT
Configurable Parameters:ACCESS_VLAN VOICE_VLAN
Defaults Parameters:ACCESS_VLAN=1 VOICE_VLAN=2
Current Parameters:ACCESS_VLAN=1 VOICE_VLAN=2
 
   
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# macro auto device phone VOICE_VLAN=20
Switch(config)# end
Switch# show macro auto device phone
Device:phone
Default Macro:CISCO_PHONE_AUTO_SMARTPORT
Current Macro:CISCO_PHONE_AUTO_SMARTPORT
Configurable Parameters:ACCESS_VLAN VOICE_VLAN
Defaults Parameters:ACCESS_VLAN=1 VOICE_VLAN=2
Current Parameters:voice_vlan=20

Configuring MAC Address Groups

For devices such as printers that do not support neighbor discovery protocols such as CDP or LLDP, use the MAC-address-based trigger configurations. This optional procedure requires these steps:

1. Configure a MAC-address-based trigger by using the macro auto mac-address global configuration command.

2. Associate the MAC address trigger to a built-in or a user-defined macro by using the macro auto execute global configuration command.


Note A switch running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE or later applies the macro as soon as it learns a MAC address in the MAC address group.

A switch running a release earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE applies the macro after it learns a MAC address in the MAC address group and waits 60 seconds.


Beginning in privileged EXEC mode:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

configure terminal

Example:

Switch# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2 

macro auto mac-address-group name

Example:

Switch(config)# macro auto mac-address-group address_trigger

Specifies the group name, and enter MAC address configuration mode.

Step 3 

[mac-address list list] | [oui [list list | range start-value size number]]

Example:

Switch(config-addr-grp-mac)# mac-address list 2222.3333.3334 22.33.44 a.b.c

Configures a list of MAC addresses separated by spaces.

Specify an operationally unique identifier (OUI) list or range. The OUI is the first three bytes of the MAC address and identifies the manufacturer of the product. Specifying the OUI allows devices that do not support neighbor discovery protocols to be recognized.

list—Enter an OUI list in hexadecimal format separated by spaces.

range—Enter the starting OUI hexadecimal value (start-value).

size—Enter the length of the range (number) from 1 to 5 to create a list of sequential addresses.

Step 4 

exit

Example:

Switch(mac-adress-config) exit

Returns to configuration mode.

Step 5 

macro auto execute address_trigger built-in macro name

Example:

Switch(config)# macro auto execute address_trigger builtin CISCO_PHONE_AUTO_SMARTPORT

Maps the MAC address-group trigger to a built-in or user-defined macro.

The MAC address trigger is applied to an interface after 65 seconds. The switch uses this hold time to apply a CDP- or LLDP-based event trigger instead of the MAC address trigger.

Step 6 

end

Example:

Switch(config)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 7 

show macro auto address-group name

Example:

Switch# show macro auto address-group group2

Verifies your entries.

Step 8 

copy running-config startup-config

Example:

Switch# copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.

This example shows how to create a MAC-address-group event trigger called address_trigger, map it to the built in phone macro, and verify your entries:

Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# macro auto mac-address-group address_trigger
Switch(config-addr-grp-mac)# mac-address list 2222.3333.3334 22.33.44 a.b.c       
Switch(config-addr-grp-mac)# oui list 455555 233244
Switch(config-addr-grp-mac)# oui range 333333 size 2
Switch(config-addr-grp-mac)# exit
Switch(config)# macro auto execute address_trigger builtin CISCO_PHONE_AUTO_SMARTPORT
Switch(config)# end
Switch# show running configuration | include macro
macro auto mac-address-group address_trigger
mac auto mac-address-group hel
mac auto execute address_trigger builtin CISCO_PHONE_AUTO_SMARTPORT
 macro description CISCO_DMP_EVENT
 mac description CISCO_SWITCH_EVENT
!
<output truncated>
 
   

The example shows how to create an OUI list with five sequential addresses starting with 00000A and how to verify your entries:

Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# macro auto mac-address-group size5ouilist
Switch(config-addr-grp-mac)# oui range 00000A size 5
Switch(config-addr-grp-mac)# exit
Switch(config)# mac auto execute size5-ouilist builtin macro
Switch(config)# macro auto execute address_trigger builtin CISCO_PHONE_AUTO_SMARTPORT
Switch(config)# end
Switch# show running configuration | include oui
oui list 00000E
oui list 00000D
oui list 00000C
oui list 00000B
oui list 00000A

Configuring Macro Persistence

When you enable Auto Smartports on the switch, by default the macro configuration is applied at a link-up event and removed at a link-down event. When you enable macro persistence, the configuration is applied at link-up and is not removed at link-down. The applied configuration remains. Macro persistence remains configured after a reboot if you have saved the running configuration file.

Follow this optional procedure so that enable macros remain active on the switch after a link-down event.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

configure terminal

Example:

Switch# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2 

interface interface-id

Example:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet 2/0/1

Specifies an interface and enters interface configuration mode.

Step 3 

macro auto sticky

Example:

Switch(config-if)# macro auto port sticky

Enables macros to remain active on the interface after a link-down event.

Step 4 

end

Example:

Switch(config)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 5 

show running-config interface interface-id

Example:

Switch# show running-config interface gigabit ethernet 2/0/1

Verifies your entries.

Step 6 

copy running-config startup-config

Example:

Switch# copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.

This example shows how to enable macro persistence on an interface:

Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet 2/0/1
Switch(config-if)# macro auto port sticky
Switch(config-if)# exit
Switch(config)# end

Creating User-Defined Event Triggers

When using MAB or 802.1x authentication as an event trigger, create a trigger that corresponds to the Cisco attribute-value pair (auto-smart-port=event trigger) sent by the RADIUS server. This procedure is optional.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

configure terminal

Example:

Switch# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2 

shell trigger identifier description

Example:

Switch(config)# shell trigger RADIUS_MAB_EVENT MAC_AuthBypass Event

Specifies the event trigger identifier and description. The identifier should have no spaces or hyphens between words.

Step 3 

end

Example:

Switch(config)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 4 

show shell triggers

Example:

Switch# show shell triggers

Displays the event triggers on the switch.

Step 5 

copy running-config startup-config

Example:

Switch# copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.

This example shows how to map a user-defined event trigger called RADIUS_MAB_EVENT to the built-in macro CISCO_AP AUTO_SMARTPORT, to replace the default VLAN with VLAN 10, and how to verify the entries.

a. Connect the device to a MAB-enabled switch port.

b. On the RADIUS server, set the attribute-value pair to auto-smart-port=RADIUS_MAB_EVENT.

c. On the switch, create the event trigger RADIUS_MAB_EVENT.

d. The switch recognizes the attribute-value pair=RADIUS_MAB_EVENT response from the RADIUS server and applies the macro CISCO_AP_AUTO_SMARTPORT.

Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# !!! create a user defined trigger and map

Configuring Event Trigger Control

Use event trigger control to specify when the switch applies macros. By default, the switch maps built-in and user-defined macros to these triggers:

Detection method (for example, MAC address groups, MAB messages, 802.1x authentication messages, and LLDP messages)

Device type (for example, Cisco switches, routers, and IP phones)

Configured triggers

To configure a MAC address-based trigger, use the macro auto global control device global or interface configuration command.

When you select triggers, the switch applies macros only when those triggers map to macros.

On a Switch

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

configure terminal

Example:

Switch# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2 

macro auto global control {device [access-point] [ip-camera] [lightweight-ap] [mac-address] [media-player] [phone] [router] [switch] | trigger [last-resort]}

Example:

Switch(config)# macro auto global control mac-address

Specifies when the switch applies a macro based on the detection method, device type, or trigger.

device—Uses one or more of these devices as an event trigger:

(Optional) access-point—Autonomous access point

(Optional) ip-camera—Cisco IP video surveillance camera

(Optional) lightweight-ap—Lightweight access point

(Optional) mac-address—Device MAC address

(Optional) media-player—Digital media player

(Optional) phone—Cisco IP phone

(Optional) router—Cisco router

(Optional) switch—Cisco switch

trigger—Uses a specific event trigger.

(Optional) last-resort—Last-resort trigger.

By default, the switch uses the device type as the event trigger. If the switch cannot determine the device type, it uses MAC address groups, MAB messages, 802.1x authentication messages, and LLDP messages in random order.

Step 3 

end

Example:

Switch(config)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 4 

show running-config

Example:

Switch# show running-config

Verifies that Auto Smartports is enabled.

Step 5 

copy running-config startup-config

Example:

Switch# copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.

To configure the switch to apply the CISCO_AP_AUTO_SMARTPORT macro only when it detects an autonomous access point:

Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# macro auto global control device access-point 
Switch(config)# end
 
   

To configure the switch to apply the CISCO_AP_AUTO_SMARTPORT macro only when it detects an autonomous access point or a Cisco IP phone:

Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

(Optional) router—Cisco router

(Optional) switch—Cisco switch

trigger—Use a specific event trigger.

(Optional) last-resort—Last-resort trigger.

By default, the switch uses the device type as the event trigger. If the switch cannot determine the device type, it uses MAC address groups, MAB messages, 802.1x authentication messages, and LLDP messages in random order.

Step 4 

exit

Example:

Switch(config-if)# exit

Returns to global configuration mode.

Step 5 

end

Example:

Switch(config)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 6 

show macro auto

(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.

To configure the switch to apply the CISCO_AP_AUTO_SMARTPORT or CISCO_PHONE_AUTO_SMARTPORT macro only when it detects a lightweight access point or a Cisco IP phone:

Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet 5/0/1
Switch(config-if)# macro auto control device lightweight-ap phone 
Switch(config-if)# exit
Switch(config)# end

Configuring User-Defined Triggers for User-Defined Macros

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a user-defined event trigger for a user-defined macro.

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

configure terminal

Example:

Switch# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2 

macro auto trigger trigger_name [device | exit | no | profile]

Example:

Switch(config)# macro auto trigger DMP

Switch(config-macro-trigger)# profile mediaplayer-DMP

Enters macro trigger configuration mode. In that mode, you can specify a user-defined event trigger that maps to a user-defined macro.

device—Specifies a device name to map to the named trigger.

exit—Exits device group configuration mode.

no—Removes any configured device.

profile—Specifies a profile name to map to the named trigger.

Step 3 

end

Example:

Switch(config)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 4 

show running-config

Example:

Switch# show running-config

Verifies that Auto Smartports is enabled.

Step 5 

copy running-config startup-config

Example:

Switch# copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.

Example: User-Defined Event Trigger

This example shows how to configure a user-defined event trigger called DMP_EVENT:

Switch(config)# macro auto trigger DMP_EVENT mediaplayer

Configuring User-Defined Macros

The Cisco IOS shell has basic scripting capabilities for configuring user-defined macros. These macros can contain multiple lines and can include any CLI command. You can also define variable-substitution, conditionals, functions, and triggers within the macro. This procedure is optional.


Note When configuring macros, you must enter a description. If the link is down (command $LINKUP -eq NO), you must enter the no macro description command. These commands are mandatory for Auto Smartports to work.


Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to map a user-defined event trigger to a user-defined macro.

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

configure terminal

Example:

Switch# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2 

macro auto execute event trigger [parameter=value] {function contents}

Example:

Switch(config)# macro auto execute DMP_EVENT {

if [[ $LINKUP -eq YES ]]; then

conf t

interface $INTERFACE

macro description $TRIGGER

switchport access vlan 1

switchport mode access

switchport port-security

switchport port-security maximum 1

switchport port-security violation restrict

switchport port-security aging time 2

switchport port-security aging type inactivity

spanning-tree portfast

spanning-tree bpduguard enable

exit

fi

if [[ $LINKUP -eq NO ]]; then

conf t

interface $INTERFACE

no macro description

no switchport access vlan 1

if [[ $AUTH_ENABLED -eq NO ]]; then

no switchport mode access

fi

no switchport port-security

no switchport port-security maximum 1

no switchport port-security violation restrict

no switchport port-security aging time 2

no switchport port-security aging type inactivity

no spanning-tree portfast

no spanning-tree bpduguard enable

exit

fi

}

Specifies a user-defined macro that maps to an event trigger.

{function contents} Specify a user-defined macro to associate with the trigger. Enter the macro contents within braces. Begin the Cisco IOS shell commands with the left brace and end the command grouping with the right brace.

(Optional) parameter=value—Replace default values that begin with $, and enter new values in the form of name value pair separated by spaces: [<name1>=<value1> <name2>=<value2>...].

Step 3 

end

Example:

Switch(config)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 4 

show running-config

Example:

Switch# show running-config

Verifies that Auto Smartports is enabled.

Step 5 

copy running-config startup-config

Example:

Switch# copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.

Example: User-Defined Event Trigger and Macro

This example shows how to map a user-defined event trigger called media player to a user-defined macro.

1. Connect the media player to an 802.1x- or MAB-enabled switch port.

2. On the RADIUS server, set the attribute-value pair to auto-smart-port =DMP_EVENT.

3. On the switch, create the event trigger DMP_EVENT, and enter the user-defined macro commands in the CLI example.

4. The switch recognizes the attribute-value pair=DMP_EVENT response from the RADIUS server and applies the macro associated with this event trigger.

Switch(config)# shell trigger DMP_EVENT mediaplayer
Switch(config)# macro auto execute DMP_EVENT { 
if [[ $LINKUP -eq YES ]]; then 
conf t 
 interface $INTERFACE 
   macro description $TRIGGER 
   switchport access vlan 1 
   switchport mode access 
   switchport port-security 
   switchport port-security maximum 1 
   switchport port-security violation restrict 
   switchport port-security aging time 2 
   switchport port-security aging type inactivity 
   spanning-tree portfast 
   spanning-tree bpduguard enable 
   exit 
fi 
if [[ $LINKUP -eq NO ]]; then 
conf t 
interface $INTERFACE 
     no macro description
     no switchport access vlan 1 
     if [[ $AUTH_ENABLED -eq NO ]]; then 
        no switchport mode access 
     fi 
     no switchport port-security 
     no switchport port-security maximum 1 
     no switchport port-security violation restrict 
     no switchport port-security aging time 2 
     no switchport port-security aging type inactivity 
     no spanning-tree portfast 
     no spanning-tree bpduguard enable 
     exit 
fi
}
Switch(config)# end
 
   

Example: Last-Resort Event Trigger and Macro

The last-resort event trigger is applied when a device is classified by Device Classifier using CDP, LLDP or DHCP, but has no built-in macro.

To map the CISCO_LAST_RESORT_AUTO_SMARTPORT macro to the last-resort trigger:

Switch(config)# macro auto global control trigger last-resort
 
   

CISCO_LAST_RESORT_AUTO_SMARTPORT macro:

function CISCO_LAST_RESORT_SMARTPORT () {
    if [[ $LINKUP -eq YES ]]; then
        conf t
            interface  $INTERFACE
                macro description $TRIGGER
                switchport access vlan $ACCESS_VLAN
                switchport mode access
                load-interval 60
                no shutdown
            exit
        end
    fi
    if [[ $LINKUP -eq NO ]]; then
        conf t
            interface  $INTERFACE
                no macro description
                no switchport access vlan $ACCESS_VLAN
                no switchport mode access
                no load-interval 60
            exit
        end
    fi
} 

Example of user-defined mapping of a MAC address trigger to map a last-resort macro:

Switch(config)#macro auto mac
Switch(config)#macro auto mac-address-group Laptop
Switch(config-addr-grp-mac)#mac-address list 0000.0011.2233
Switch(config-addr-grp-mac)#exit
Switch(config)#macro auto execute laptop builtin CISCO_LAST_RESORT_SMARTPORT 
ACCESS_VLAN=10
Switch(config)#end
Switch#

Example: Custom Event Trigger and CISCO_CUSTOM_AUTO_SMARTPORT Macro

Default CISCO_CUSTOM_AUTO_SMARTPORT macro:

if [[ $LINKUP -eq YES ]]; then
        conf t
            interface $INTERFACE
            exit
        end
    fi
    if [[ $LINKUP -eq NO ]]; then
        conf t
            interface $INTERFACE
            exit
        end
    fi
 
   

To create a user-defined macro with the same name as the custom macro, override the CISCO_CUSTOM_AUTO_SMARTPORT macro, and set the parameters for your switch, including the mapping from an event trigger to the macro.

Config# macro auto execute CISCO_CUSTOM_EVENT {
    if [[ $LINKUP -eq YES ]]; then
        conf t
            interface $INTERFACE
            description asp3-link-UP i.e. Custom Macro OFF
            no macro description
            switchport
            switchport mode access
            switchport access vlan $ACCESS_VLAN
            spanning-tree portfast
            exit
        end
    fi
    if [[ $LINKUP -eq NO ]]; then
        conf t
            interface $INTERFACE
            macro description $TRIGGER
            switchport access vlan $ACCESS_VLAN
            description asp3-link-DOWN i.e. Custom Macro ON
            exit
        end
    fi
 
   
}

Default Static Smartports Configuration

There are no static Smartports macros enabled on the switch.

Table 3-5 Default Static Smartports Macros 

Macro Name 1
Description

cisco-global

Use this global configuration macro to enable rapid per-VLAN spanning-tree plus (PVST+), loop guard, and dynamic port-error recovery for link state failures.

cisco-desktop

Use this interface configuration macro for increased network security and reliability when connecting a desktop device, such as a PC, to a switch port.

cisco-phone

Use this interface configuration macro when connecting a desktop device such as a PC with a Cisco IP Phone to a switch port. This macro is an extension of the cisco-desktop macro and provides the same security and resiliency feature and also dedicated voice VLANs to ensure proper treatment of delay-sensitive voice traffic.

cisco-switch

Use this interface configuration macro when connecting an access switch and a distribution switch or between access switches connected through small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules.

cisco-router

Use this interface configuration macro when connecting the switch and a WAN router.

cisco-wireless

Use this interface configuration macro when connecting the switch and a wireless access point.

1 Cisco-default Smartports macros vary, depending on the software version running on your switch.


Static Smartports Configuration Guidelines

When a macro is applied globally to a switch or to a switch interface, the existing configuration on the interface is retained. This is helpful when applying an incremental configuration.

If a command fails because of a syntax or a configuration error, the macro continues to apply the remaining commands. You can use the macro global trace macro-name global configuration command or the macro trace macro-name interface configuration command to apply and then debug the macro to find any syntax or configuration errors.

Some CLI commands are specific to certain interface types. If you apply a macro to an interface that does not accept the configuration, the macro fails the syntax or the configuration check, and the switch returns an error message.

Applying a macro to an interface range is the same as applying a macro to a single interface. When you use an interface range, the macro is applied sequentially to each interface within the range. If a macro command fails on one interface, it is still applied to the remaining interfaces.

When you apply a macro to a switch or a switch interface, the macro name is automatically added to the switch or interface. You can display the macro names and applied commands using the show running-config user EXEC command.

NEAT Configuration

The Network Edge Access Topology (NEAT) feature extends identity to areas outside the wiring closet (such as conference rooms).

In a NEAT scenario, when 802.1x authentication is successful and an ASP macro is sent from the Access Control Server (ACS) to the switch, you must make one of the following configurations:

Change the host mode to multi-host.

Enable trunk configuration on the authenticator switch by configuring the cisco-av-pair as device-traffic-class=switch at the ACS.

Applying Static Smartports Macros

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to apply a static Smartports macro:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

show parser macro

Example:

Switch# show parser macro

Displays the Cisco-default static Smartports macros embedded in the switch software.

Step 2 

show parser macro name macro-name

Example:

Switch# show parser macro name cisco-desktop

Displays the specific macro that you want to apply.

Step 3 

configure terminal

Example:

Switch# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 4 

macro global {apply | trace} macro-name [parameter {value}] [parameter {value}] [parameter {value}]

Example:

Switch(config)# macro global apply cisco-desktop $access_vlan 25

Applies a macro on the switch:

To only apply each individual macro command, use the macro global apply macro-name command.

To apply and then debug a macro to find any syntax or configuration errors, use the macro global trace macro-name command.

Append the macro with the required values by using the parameter value keywords. Keywords that begin with $ require a unique parameter value.

You can use the macro global apply macro-name ? command to display a list of any required values for the macro. If you apply a macro without entering the keyword values, the commands are invalid and are not applied.

(Optional) Specify unique parameter values that are specific to the switch. You can enter up to three keyword-value pairs. Parameter keyword matching is case sensitive. The corresponding value replaces all matching occurrences of the keyword.

Step 5 

interface interface-id

Example:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet 2/0/5

(Optional) Specifies an interface and enters interface configuration mode.

Step 6 

default interface interface-id

Example:

Switch(config)# default interface 2/1/4

(Optional) Clears all configuration from the specified interface.

Step 7 

macro {apply | trace} macro-name [parameter {value}] [parameter {value}] [parameter {value}]

Example:

Switch(config-if)# macro apply cisco-desktop $access_vlan 25

Applies a macro on the interface:

To only apply each individual macro command, use the macro apply macro-name command.

To apply and then debug a macro to find any syntax or configuration errors, use the macro trace macro-name command.

Append the macro with the required values by using the parameter value keywords. Keywords that begin with $ require a unique parameter value.

You can use the macro global apply macro-name ? command to display a list of any required values for the macro. If you apply a macro without entering the keyword values, the commands are invalid and are not applied.

(Optional) Specify unique parameter values that are specific to the switch. You can enter up to three keyword-value pairs. Parameter keyword matching is case sensitive. The corresponding value replaces all matching occurrences of the keyword.

Step 8 

end

Example:

Switch(config)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 9 

show running-config interface interface-id

Example:

Switch# show running-config interface gigabit ethernet 1/0/4

Verifies that Auto Smartports is enabled.

Step 10 

copy running-config startup-config

Example:

Switch# copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.

You can only delete a global macro-applied configuration on a switch by entering the no version of each command in the macro. You can delete a macro-applied configuration on a port by entering the default interface interface-id interface configuration command.

This example shows how to display the cisco-desktop macro, to apply the macro, and to set the access VLAN ID to 25 on an interface:

Switch# show parser macro name cisco-desktop
--------------------------------------------------------------
Macro name : cisco-desktop
Macro type : default interface
# macro keywords $access_vlan
# Basic interface - Enable data VLAN only
# Recommended value for access vlan should not be 1
switchport access vlan $access_vlan
switchport mode access
# Enable port security limiting port to a single
# MAC address -- that of desktop
switchport port-security
switchport port-security maximum 1
# Ensure port-security age is greater than one minute
# and use inactivity timer
switchport port-security violation restrict
switchport port-security aging time 2
switchport port-security aging type inactivity
# Configure port as an edge network port
spanning-tree portfast
spanning-tree bpduguard enable
--------------------------------------------------------------
Switch#
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/4
Switch(config-if)# macro apply cisco-desktop $access_vlan 25
